Al Fornello Da Ricci

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

The cuisine served in the elegant dining room of this restaurant, complete with a verdant garden and run by couple Antonella and Vinod—both creative chefs—marries exotic influences with tradition. It's a great place to splurge on a tasting menu; note, though, that hours can be erratic, especially during winter months, so call ahead.

Cibus

$ Fodor's Choice

Amid the stone vaults and vine-leafy, light-dappled courtyard of this highly acclaimed old-town osteria turned Slow Food destination, the freshest Pugliese meat and produce are transformed into exquisite tapas-like dishes. Be sure to ask the amiable owner to show you his wine cellar and equally impressive cheese larder, where he personally controls the maturing process.
